GIRLS ALOUD fans in this area will be able to catch their Tangled Up tour, Larger than Live, on the big screen at Cheshire Oaks later this month.

The band has joined forces with Vue Entertainment to broadcast the event live to 50 of its cinemas across the country, direct from London’s O2 Arena, on saturday, may 17.

Using the latest high-definition digital technology and 5:1 Dolby Surround Sound, fans will get front row seats for the live show feeling the full excitement of the thrilling atmosphere as if they were at the arena itself.

After five years together, four albums and a greatest hits CD, Girls Aloud have entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the girl group with the most consecutive top 10 hits.

Their 2008 24-date Tangled Up tour of the UK started in Belfast on May 3.

The band’s Kimberley Walsh said: “This is our fourth tour and with Vue we are making it bigger and better than anything that’s come before.

“We love and appreciate our fans and it’s really exciting for the girls and I to be on big screens at cinemas across the country so that even more of those fans, young and old, can see our shows.”

Mark de Quervain, sales and marketing director for Vue Entertainment, said: “We are thrilled to be able to show Larger than Live on our big screens in high definition and amazing Dolby 5:1 Surround Sound.
